how to use Spinnaker programatically

People often ask how they can write scripts and use Spinnaker programatically. You most certainly can. Spinnaker is a collection of subservices that all expose a RESTful API. You can see a list (with descriptions) of all of the endpoints by navigating to:

You can click on the controller you are interested in to see endpoints related to it. You can even test out hitting these different endpoints right in the UI.
